Book publishing: Marketing and Publicity placement available for NEXT WEEK

I have decided to publish my intern opportunity post slightly earlier this week, due to the fact that I've come across an ASAP placement opportunity at Duckworth Publishers.

The placement is within the Marketing and Publicity department. Unfortunately, there are no other details advertised such as, duration etc. However, the placement has a start date of next week, so it's advisable to get your CV and Cover letter in for as soon as possible, and particularly before the end of the day.

Apply to this placement via: info@duckworth-publishers.co.uk

Penguin - Getting into Publishing

This is a great book publishing event, which I must admit, I've had my eye on since last year. Penguin's annual open day called 'Getting into Publishing' is both for students and recent graduates, who are keen to gain a bit more of an insight about the book publishing world. The event is via invitation only, and due to the volume of candidates will be decided upon an application, which will contain your CV and cover letter.

Anyone with an interest in book publishing should definitely apply.

To apply for an invite, email: gettingintopublishing@penguin.co.uk

Don't forget to include, your CV and cover letter, name, University and graduation year.

DEADLINE: OCTOBER 14TH

Website Pick of the Week

The Society of Young Publishers is a great starting place for young budding publishing professional. The main aim of SYP is to provide people with the industry services they need, to get their publishing careers off to a fantastic start. The society offers, regular monthly speaker meetings, a free subscription to the InPrint magazine, industry contacts, a comprehensive job database and more. The only snag is that you have to pay to be a member of SYP. Memberships for students are slightly cheaper though at £24 as opposed to £30 for adults. Nevertheless, this society is highly recommended and I’m definitely going to consider joining.
